9 Bible Verses about Personal Responsibility

For each person will have to carry his own load.

But if anyone does not provide for his own, that is his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

For we must all appear before the tribunal of Christ, so that each may be repaid for what he has done in the body, whether good or worthless.

“Fathers are not to be put to death for their children or children for their fathers; each person will be put to death for his own sin.

Even if it is true that I have sinned,
my mistake concerns only me.

If you are wise, you are wise for your own benefit;
if you mock, you alone will bear the consequences.”

Rather, each will die for his own wrongdoing. Anyone who eats sour grapes—his own teeth will be set on edge.

The person who sins is the one who will die. A son won’t suffer punishment for the father’s iniquity, and a father won’t suffer punishment for the son’s iniquity. The righteousness of the righteous person will be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked person will be on him.

Who are you to criticize another’s household slave? Before his own Lord he stands or falls. And he will stand. For the Lord is able to make him stand.
